1'0 all w/Lom it tay concern'.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE E. SAVAGE, a citizen ofthe United States,residing at Meriden, county of NewHaven, State of Connecticut, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvementsin CoiTee-Percolators, ofwhich the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to im rovements in coffee-pots, teapots, and the lie, and partie ularly to what is known as percolators The object of theinvention is to provide a construction the parts of which are securelattached together when assembled and whicli avoids the danger ofoverheating or of annoying and dangerous accumulation and escape ofsteam or increase of pressure.

have endeavored to ma simple and inexpensive of construction aspossible, while maintainingstrength, adaptability t'o assembling, andefficiencyof operation.

The invention consists 'in improvements, the principles of which areillustrated in the accompanying two sheets of drawings.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a percolator involving the improvementsof my invention,

' parts of the same being broken away to show the interior construction.Fig. 2 is a plan view of the coffee-receptacle with its cover. Fig. 3 isa horizontal cross-section and plan on the plane of the lineX X of Fig.1.

1 represents the body of the codec-pot, which 1s formed, preferably, ofsheet metal. This is in the form shown provided with handles and asuitable s out or spigot.

2 is a hollow bell wliich rests on the bottom of the body and has aseries of openings around its base, through which the iiuidcir-y culatesduring the operation. This is provided with the usual percolator-tube. v

3 is the coffee or tea receptacle, which has a perforated bottom orstrainer and is removi ably. seated 'Within the rim at the top of thepot.` AThis is preferably constructed of sheet metal similar to thebody. The sleeve 4 is preferably secured tothe bottom of the receptacle3 and affords a centering and guiding device for las well as anextension of the percolator-tube.v a

5 is a tip which fits easily onto the u per end-of thepleeve 4 and has anumber o lateral perfcrations, through which hot water and any steamgenerated in the reservoir bee the parts as j 'which escapes through the'condensed within the rim o neath the bell 2 is forced. This tip isremovable from the sleeve 4, but may be removed with lthe sleeve 4 whenthe receptacle is interior ofthe cover is dome-shaped adjacent theperforations'in the tip 5 and serves to direct the stream of hot waterand an products of condensation downward, so t at the Huid will dripupon the contents of the receptacle 3, percolate through, and thusultimately forin the beverage. inthe body portion or reservoir 1.

7 indicates a recess or passage in the edge of the cover.

.8 84 indicate pr-.iJections or indentations'v from the metal ofthe rimof the receptacle 3.

The dimensions of the parts are s'uch that the cover may be easilyremoved when in the position shown in Figs. l and 2 or locked inposition by simply rotating it through a slight angle, so that the covercannot be raised by a sudden pressure of steam or fall.

passage 9 1s provided in l cup 10 and immediatl runs back into thereceptacle, In a simi ar way any steam passage 7 will be the receptacle3 and gradually worked back into the receptacle, thus preventingcondensation V,of 1nois. ture on the outer surface of the parts.

11 ,is an annular base-ring which extends downward from the bodyportion. This is separatel formed, but attached onto the side wall 'of tAe body so as to be permanently a part thereof. This ispreferably-'provided with 'a series of lateral perforations 12 for thecirculation of air to prevent overheating.

has a supporting-riml,

l 13 is a top ring of the stand or tripod, which forcement at this pointon which the pot rests. This reinforcing upturned edge 15 1s cut away at16, forming a recess or passage.

17 isa. projection'or indentation from thel metal of t c stand-ring 13.

A. projection 17 is preferabl provided opi posite each leg of the standan to correspon with asimilar number of passages 16. When the parts arein position as shown in Fig. 1, the body may be removed from the standby lifting it. It may be locked to the stand by turnn it slightly, (ineither direction,) es indicate in Fig; 3, in which position the body'find stend are secured together. For convenience in pouring from a pothaving a spigot, as herein shown, it is preferable that t e bodyr beturned about until the spigot stands directly midway between two of thclegs of the stand.

The many advantages of this construction will be understood by thoseskilled in the art.

`While the parts are simple, they may nevcrtheless be securel attac edtogether or tri-kenA apart, as desire The particular forni of connectionbetween the base ring and the stand has the advantages of strength anddurebilityover anything known in the art.

1. A coffee percolator comprising the combination of a stand having etop ring with e supporting rimor flange, a plurality of pro Jectlonsextending inward laterally from seid ring slightly above the supportingrim, a

' iiuidholding body having un imperl'orete sion-chern bottom, apercolator-bell forming a compreser above the bottom, an annularbese-ring extending downwardly below the bottom and united with seid bodan annular flanged reinforcing lower erge integral with said base-ringhaving a plurality ci ver tical passages in the ilenge correspondingwith the projections on the stand-ring, where by the parts maybesecurely locked together or readily separated, substantially esdescribed and for the purpose specilied.

2. 1n u device of the character described, the combination of a .standhaving a series of lateral projections, e tluid^ holding body, abase-ring separately formed but permanently secured thereto and havingan upturned lower edge with a. series oi' vertical passages, all adaptedto lock on the stand substantially as described, said bnse-ring-alsohaving e series of interni periorations l'or the circulation of oir.

.3. In e device oi` the character described, the combination oi ufluid-holding body portion, a receptacle mounted therein, .a transparentdome-shaped glass cover for seid vrcoeptnolc having u i'ieri'oretionfourelicving the pressure within seid receptacle, and en ennnhir rin.:iron nd snid pzissngeior collecting condensation.

4. In e device nl' the character described, the combination of alluidehoiding body poe tion, a percolalir-tube, e recepl'milo mounted insaid body, u tip having :t series ollateral perforations for the escapeol' hot waiter and steam and n domo-shaped transparent cover hnving acentral perforation i'or relieving the pressure within said receptacle,said latereily-perforarted tip being located Within said dome anddirectly beneath said centrati perforation.
